Ex-AccuWeather's Bastardi Slams 'Ambulance Chasing' by Global Warming Theory Activists | NewsBusters

Bastardi:
It's almost like ambulance chasing after these devastating events that cause misery to people, and then trying to tie an agenda into it.

@BarryJWoods @Foxgoose @richardabetts Yes that 300K [annual CO2-induced bad weather deaths?] figure is discredited and no longer quoted by me or others. Kofi Annan's org was wrong

Conservative think tank blasts CAP hypocrisy | Washington Free Beacon

“I find it ironic that the Center for American Progress may now realize how difficult it can be for a controversial nonprofit to have its corporate donors exposed,” Lakely said. “Maybe now CAP will tone down its celebration of crimes in the name of ‘disclosure’ and denunciation of corporate donations to nonprofits—but I have my doubts.”

Lakely’s comments followed on a report Tuesday in the Nation that revealed a partial membership list of CAP’s Business Alliance, a secretive collection of businesses that contribute to the liberal think tank.

The report also revealed CAP leaders have advocated for policies that benefitted a number of its corporate partners. CAP has previously accused conservative organizations of taking money from corporations before advocating in favor of policies that help them.

The Center for American Progress Action Fund’s ThinkProgress blog attacked the Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank, in 2012. It published a list of Heartland’s corporate donors in a post titled, “EXPOSED: The 19 Public Corporations Funding The Climate Denier Think Tank Heartland Institute.”

CAP launched a pressure campaign against companies that contributed to Heartland’s operations.
